MDM for Equipment master

Hi,
Can we implement MDM for equipment master?
Regards,
Anoop Sahu

Yes , Equipment master can be modeled in SAP MDM through the use of a custom repository as out-of-box business contents are not provided by SAP . Recently I came across an opportunity where they wanted to implement MDM for equipment master due to following reasons :
Maintain a complete Equipment/Location wise hierarchy at a central place
To be able to consolidate similar equipments across plants
Cleanse existing Equipment masters
Effective data management (Search , Author , Update etc.)

Interface between Legacy and SAP for Equipment Master

Hello
I got a requirement where I need to develop a interface between legacy system and R/3 system for Equipment Master Data update in R/3. I am thinking of getting a Idoc file from Legacy and then update the changes or any new creation of Equipments in R/3. I found a standard BAPI for this BAPI_EQUIPMENT_CREATE/CHANGE. This BAPI use a strcture BAPI_ITOB for data record of IDoc. But I got more data from legacy except what we have in BAPI_ITOB. I got Partner Data, Classification data also for Equipments. I am thinking of copying the BAPI to a Z function module and modify the Idoc structure , message type and all to capture all the data and then do a update in same way as standard transaction IE01(Equipment Create) is doing in Batch Input. Do you think if there is any better way of doing this? I am not used to transaction BAPI . just wondering if we Can use that in someway to include our modification?
Thanks
Harkamal

20,000 is on quite higher side for IDOC.
IBIP help doc says it needs 2 Kbyte for each record, i.e. 40 Mb for 20,000 rec. that should be ok. Since it has structures for Partner & classification data , I don't think u need to modify the BAPI.
Transaction IE01 - Create equipment
Transaction IE02 - Change equipment
Structure - IBIPEQUI Equipment record
                 |->    IBIPNSTA     New status profile if necessary
                 |->>   IBIPSTAT     User status records

Enhancement for Equipment master data

Hi all
I want to find an enhancement for Equipment master data. I want to add some customer fields to Equipment data,but i can't find the enhancement.Anybody tell me the Enhancement which be useful for that. thanks.
BR
Chris.

Hi,
you can add new tab on the screen and provide your custom field on that tab. You have to add a new tab for any Technical Object by doing some configuration changes in SPRO. first go to SPRO and in screen sequences add a new tab sequence against the profile. Now in the function group SAPLXTOB you can see this new tab screen. Do your requirements on this screen.
Reward if useful and get back to me if you need any help.
Thanks,

IDOC for Equipment master

Hi,
I am new to IDOC concept and need to transfer Equipment master from a SAP system to non SAP system.
please let me know the following:
1. Is there any standard message type and Idoc type available
    for Equipment master ?? ( For example we have
    MATMAS05 for material master)
2. Is there any standard transation available for equipment
    trasfer???( For example BD10 for sending material)
3. Is change pointer facility available for equipment master??
    If yes please provide me the details
Thanks

Hi Preethi
Please use LSMW in loading euipment master using the Basic type EQUIPMENT_CREATE01 and assign the source legacy file.You can use the message type EQUIPMENT_CHANGE01 to change it.See in WE02 BD87 the stus whether it has been posted or not.
           Since your data would be going to non sap that means you have to create partner profile for outbound processing and also activate the port(WE21) for outbound processing.
                 If your client is intilligent enoough and also big than if it has an ETL tool than extraction from spreadsheet in the form of idoc would be much easier and would cut short the time consumed in writing large programs .However the business needs to have an existing legacy system and you try to convert data .
      Please do revert back incase of any issues.

How to get change documents for Equipment Master Records of a document?

Hi experts,
I need a report for changes of Equipment Master for a document.
There is a way to reach this for every document : Environement - > Display Changes. Then I can get a report for "Changes to Object Links". But this can only show me that which equipments are linked to this document. What I want to search is which documents are linked to the equipment. I want to search with equipment number and get the history of changes for documents, Which documents are attached to this equipments and when did these documents attach to the equipment.
Can I get this report with standard SAP queries / reports? Where can I get this informations? From which tables?
PS: If i run a search with Equipment Master Data form CV04N, I can see which documents are linked to this equipment but I can't see when they are attached.
Thanks in advance.

.. but I can't see when they are attached...
In CV04n,in Object Links tab,provide your search input criteria.Once the results are displayed,navigate to Current Layout button.Herein,move the 'Output Date' value to Displayed Column list.
Once done,you should be able to view the date on which the DIR with associated objects(Eg: Equipment Master) was created.Hope this helps!!

SRM and MDM for material master in SRM contracts for multiple R/3

Dear all,
my question is:
We are implementing SRM 4.0 in classic scenario with multiple R/3 back-end and we want to set-up Global Outline Agreements in SRM in a multi-backend environment where the Material Master are not harmonized.
We heard that MDM and COntent Integraton can be a solution.
Then detailled question is:
Can we have 2 material numbers (e.g. ABC and XYZ) in 2 different R/3 systems refering the same product.
Have the mapping done in MDM (Content Integrator?) to a third material number:123
Replicating the material master 123 to SRM from MDM(?)
Create global Outline Agreements in SRM for Material Master 123.
Distribute the GOA as Outline Agreement to R/3 system 1 with the translation to ABC and to R/3 system 2 with the translation XYZ, all of that during the distribution step (or another).
Have the call-offs quantities correct on 123 in SRM and BW?
IF yes, how is it working, do you have some documentation discribing the scenario and the config steps to do?
Thanks in avance

Hello RD,
That's a good question.
You are on the right way. MDM is the tool for you.
But..
Content Integrator (CI) was first developped for Shell, to address the need of cross-referencing of material/supplier/category IDs, for:
- reporting purpose (actual Spend Analysis)
- mapping purpose (send of XML PO)
CI was later "fusionned" into the new MDM (1.0) solution.
So now, you can not order CI without MDM (even if some SRM slides still present CI).
But mapping API where developped for all inboud/outbound interfaces in SRM, for materials only (good luck for you).
You will find everywhere this piece of code:
Call ECI
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PRODUCT_MAP'
      TABLES
        it_input          = lt_mapping_in
        et_output         = lt_mapping_out
      EXCEPTIONS
        logsys_not_found = 1
        driver_not_found = 2
        product_not_found = 3
        internal_error    = 4
        OTHERS            = 5.
So it is ok, you have the mapping call, but I don't know if all the rest of the process was really "finalized" (call of API mapping in CI, via XI). I personnaly never used it, but I assume it should work.
I my opinion your process is supported by SAP:
- Extract materials from both R/3 and consolidate them as a single product in MDM.
- Distribute this product into SRM.
- Maintain contracts on those products.
- Distribute them to R/3 (The ECI call is also used during contract distribution).
- Call offs corrects in SRM and BW
For MDM documentation, look at netweaver area of service.sap.com.
For MDM/SRM integration, look at SRM 4.0 spend analysis:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004424262004E/GlobalSpendOverview.ppt
For SRM contract distribution, call-offs, BW, look at SRM in details in service.sap.com/srm/SRM4.0:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001966382004E/contracten.ppt

MDM for Managing Master data for PP & QM Modules

We have studied the various offerings of SAP MDM for Materials, Suppliers, Financials
These are definitely areas where we would like to automate using MDM and thereby improve Quality, Turn around Time and eliminate errors, redundancy etc.
In these areas we have also succeeded to a some extent in controlling the maintenance process by way of centralizing and building checks and controls in the Configuration of different Modules.
The main pain areas in terms of Master data have been in PP and QM Modules
PP- Maintenance of BoM and Recipe - which is based on process package finalized by R&D Section.
R&D scientists are not so familiar with SAP and SAP Settings
Process Package is usually a simple document- defining specific quantities of the different components required to produce a Specific quantity of a Product and also descibles the procedure of the entire production process, but when it translates into a Recipe and Bom- different tables in SAP come into play.
Eventually the BoMs and Recipes are created by manual input of information from the R&D Process Package
Similarly the QM master data - Inspection Plan in SAP - is based on Specification finalized by the Quality wing of R&D
R&D scientists are not so familiar with SAP and SAP Settings
Specification is usually a simple document defining the different tests to be performed for inspecting a material and the expected range in which the results should fall in order for the material to be accepted- but when it translates into a Recipe and Bom- different tables in SAP come into play.
Eventually the Specifications are created by manual input of information from the R&D Process Package
There is no direct relation between the original R&D Document and the SAP Master data- Verification is a laborious manual process.
We are wondering whether SAP MDM would have the scope to cover these two areas
Tks

Hi Hari,
If I understand correctly,you are doing a feasibility study about and trying to find out if standard offering in SAP MDM supports your requirement of linking the master data and R&D documents.
If thats the case I guess you can design a solution based on your business requirement.For this you can either create a custom repository or extend the currently offered standard business content.You can link the documents to the master data,also store these as pdf/image/links etc.
Thanks,
Ravi

POP-UP message displaying internal note for Equipment master records

In the equipment master data there is a option for entering an "Internal note" to the right hand side of the Equipment description.
We have maintained a few masters with this internal note. The team wants to have a pop-up of this message everytime the equipment is acessed using T-code IE02 and IE03 for information.
Can some one help me achieve this functionality.
Thanks

Synchronization between SAP and Legacy system for Equipment Master

Hello Experts
We are moving Equipment master from our legacy system to SAP system using LSMW direct input. After moving the data into SAP, legacy system will be there for a while like 6 month or a Year. So we need to setup a process which can sync Equipment data back into SAP for this period on daily basis. What would be the best method for doing this synch on daily basis??
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance
-Harkamal

One method is to create a report which will select all the new entries created and create a file with the decided fields and send it to the legacy application.You can schedule this report to run every day or based on the freequency both parties agree.In the program store the last run date of the program in TVARVC table and pick up the equipment master records created after the last run date,
so that the program sends only new records every timr.
If you have XI/PI in your landscape , depending on the capabilities of this legacy system you can change this file into inserting the data into a JDBC table , web service etc

The external number range for Equipment master

Dear Experts,
My client has requirement to use KKS code as Equipment number as they want to create Notification and Maintenance order using the KKS code.
For example 10H, 10BEB, 20BHB04, 10LBG10AA001, 10HLA13AA001A, 10ETG10AN001-E etc.
All these KKS codes has different character length hence it's not fit in any number range.
can anyone suggest the external number range that I can use for above requirement?
Thanks.

Parag,
I have checked again. It is working correctly. Remember that the following setting the check box below the column A should be empty. This allows Alphanumeric characters in the numbers.
SPRO Path to above setting
My Equipment category of External Numbers is 'A'.

MDM for Retail Hierarchies

Hello,
We are planning to implement SAP-MDM as master data solution for retail hierarchy management. By retail hierarchies, I mean, lcoation hierarchy, merchandizing (product) hierarchy, time hierarchy etc. Each of these hierarchies have 4-8 levels, and have 10-40 attributes at each of the level. The business requirement is to create, maintain, and distribute the hierarchy data.
1) There are requirements around validating the attribute values for required vs. non required (by business unit, for instance?), drop down vs. free form text field, text length, text vs. numeric;
2) Then there are requirements around security that apparel user cannot update hierarchy for footwear products; an in-line user cannot update a promotional product; in-line and promotional are values of a node.
3) Then there are audit requirements on who made what change when.
Q1: Has anyone done retail hierarchies in MDM so far? If so, any tips/tricks or learnings you had? I know MDM can meet all the validation, security, audit requirements for fields; are the same available at taxonomy attribute level?
I am also planning to use Retail artcile (out of the box) repository as the base, and add the retail hierarchy taxonomy on top of that.
Q2: Does anyone have field meanings, descriptions or notes for the tables and fields in the retail article repository? f you have, could you please share them with me soon?
My deadline for finishing the prototype and doing a demo is next Friday.
Thank you in advance
Savi

Yes , Equipment master can be modeled in SAP MDM through the use of a custom repository as out-of-box business contents are not provided by SAP . Recently I came across an opportunity where they wanted to implement MDM for equipment master due to following reasons :
Maintain a complete Equipment/Location wise hierarchy at a central place
To be able to consolidate similar equipments across plants
Cleanse existing Equipment masters
Effective data management (Search , Author , Update etc.)

Creation of Equipment master throught Emigall

Hi Fritz,
Good Day!
I need to create a Emigall object for Equipment Master, which we can't
handle in LSMW because of the volume of data, I am using the same object as
used for Device of ISU.
The object name is EQUIPMENT in company ZISU. I have used those fileds only
which are required to create a equipmetn master in STW. While uploading the
data I am getting an error " Enter a valid device category" which is a
device category of ISU.
Can we do this or do we need to create some other customization in this case
Thanks for your support Fritz.
Regards,
Robert.

Robert,
I did some research. Please confirm you are referring to the data as copied below from the documentation.
Kind regards,
Fritz
Definition
Partners (business partners) are internal and/or external organizational units. For example, internal partners can be logistics and sales departments that perform services. External partners can be customers as service recipients and vendors as supporting service providers. A partner can be a natural or a legal entity. You can use partners in CS- and PM processing.
The following partner types are delivered with the Standard System:
Customer
Contact person
Vendor
User
Personnel number
Organizational unit
Position
Partner Function
You define partner functions in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service. They are freely definable and always refer to a partner type. Standard functions exist (for example, goods recipient) and you can also define your own functions.
Partner Determination Procedure
The partner determination procedure is a grouping of partner functions. It specifies which partner functions are permitted or must always be specified for a particular business transaction (for example, for the processing of a service or maintenance order). In Customizing you define the partner determination procedure and assign partner functions to it. If functions are assigned to the partner determination procedure, you can assign the partner determination procedure to an object (for example, to a notification type).
Integration
You can assign partners to the following objects: Functional location and equipment
